Description

Discover a unique historical collection that explores the foundations of modern parenting advice. Wise Words brings together the columns written by Ursula Wise for The Nursery World between 1929 and 1936. Writing under a pseudonym, Wise was actually the eminent educationalist and pioneering psychoanalyst Susan Isaacs. This book provides a rare look at the real-world problems faced by parents during the early 20th century. Through her role as an agony aunt, Isaacs offered clear and thoughtful guidance to readers seeking help with their family life and child-rearing challenges. The collection includes direct correspondence from readers who sought her expertise on complex personal issues. For students of psychology, historians, or those interested in the evolution of parenting, this Routledge publication offers deep insight into the work of a trailblazing thinker. It captures the voice of a woman who helped shape how we understand child development and family dynamics through her practical yet profound advice.
